The ebola virus scares the crap out of me!!
Thanks for the tips. I asked her about the ayurvedic herb shatavari in the chat box and she says no, not enough research. I found a great sticky thread in the ttc girl forum on raising progesterone through diet and learned B6 can sway boy. Hooray! I've been feeling like I was cheating by taking it, so I was taking low doses from af to o, but now I'm going to go for it! Hopefully this and vitamin C will get me a bfp. If my cycle is still wacky next month, I've ordered some vitex, but I will try the increased B6 and C route this cycle.
Regarding ebola, it just shows how dangerous bad hospitals are. There were 2 or 3 hospitals that treated patients just fine. Now this one in Texas totally messed up, sent the sick guy home, exposed the workers, etc. and things are a mess. It's like anything else, there are good and bad options. I just hope the good hospitals and sensible people outweigh the bad and ignorant.
A shout out of support for you mamas with 6 and 3 and anything more than 1 girl! I love my dd and taking her to ballet class seeing all the little girls dressed up. I'm so grateful we had a girl first! I love little girls. My longing for a boy isn't because I don't like girls, it's just that I feel our lives would be more complete and balanced with a little boy. I'm guessing you all probably feel the same way, that's why we're here.
Trueblue - Six girls! Wow, Jana's right - that really is incredible. And I like what you said, sageviolet. Girls are fantastic. I adore my daughter with all of my heart.
So I'm having a weird experience... I tested today using my new WONDFO opks and I got a positive. So I used my Clearblue and got a peak, stady smiley. I'm on CD8. BUT...Apparently this might be a false positive. I keep getting positive results, but Atomic thought this might not be the real thing. Has this happened to any of you?
Tm29- I would make some attempts!
Tm what's your cm and cp looking like?
Yes, I've had a couple of cycles where I got a positive and I didn't actually ovulate. It's just one of those things that happens every now and then.
Thanks Jana, yogi and Boysway - I really appreciate it. We BD twice yesterday just in case - you're right Jana! - but we apparently need to be careful to only BD once today because if it is a false pos and I O later this week, then we'll end up having done a compressed version of FR!
Yogi - my cm is kind of ewcm, but it's never VERY stretchy and ew-ish - there's just more or less cm/moisture if you see what I mean. I don't know about cp. Will find out what it's meant to be like and check. That's a good idea.
This has added another layer of stress! I actually felt really down yesterday after the huge relief of getting a +opk. Weird anti-climax (no pun intended). DH finds that preseed really reduces sensation so it all takes ages and is tiring and TBH the anxiety over the sway and ttc removes ALL romance/pleasure.
But of course the extra pounds and all the stress will all be so, so worth it for a bfp.
Having 6 girls really is fantastic :) they are all so different and I wouldn't swap them for anything in the world.
:D
tm I'm pretty sure you need to be having daily BD for at least 7 days in a row BEFORE your attemp for it to count as FR so you will be ok to attempt again if you get another +opk and still be boy friendly.
Thanks Trueblue. We'll def do x1 attempt today. I think Atomic was concerned if we did x3. I still feel uneasy about this though and WISH I knew for sure. I can't believe how little these opks really tell you!
Yogiandboo I have tried checking out cp and (TMI) it's very high and far back and not hard but not soft like either. I remember the posterior cervix being a thing that was mentioned when my daughter was born so I think that's normal. Ugh. Totally confused.
Will test again with wondfo now.
Tm29
Thats realy confusing , try to bed every other day , u'll stay in the safe side :)
I had my positive opk on saturday evening ,
So what dpo im on?
My symptoms are : super gasy and bloated today and yesterday
Wish I knew the answer to this one. I would assume you count it the way you count days of your cycle. If you get aF at night, then you count the next day aS CD1 - at least my dr does! Hoping those are super early pg symptoms... FX for you.
My situation is SO confusing. Have learnt about cp (thanks yogiandboo!) and it's high but not soft. But every wondfo comes out positive. If the cervix is not completely soft does that mean you are not fertile?!
Ovulation is generally counted as the day after you get a +OPK. By my thinking, you would be 1 dpo on Monday.
Tm29
The cp thing i never got it sorry
Boysway thnx alot
So im 5dpo today! Nice
3-4 more days to test 😍
Good Luck business.woman
3-4 more days - you must be feeling SO excited business.woman. Wow! Really good luck. Please tell us all right away!
If anyone has any wisdom to offer me I would be so grateful. I've tested positive using wondfo opk and clearblue (which locked onto steady smiley) for the past few days. This morning with FMU I tested negative with Clearblue. I just tested this aftrnoon with wondfo and got a positive. I have some ewcm and my cp is high, softer but not completely soft and closed. What on earth is up with me?!! Am I ovulating? Maybe I still haven't figured out how the cervix is meant to feel. Ugh. I am driving myself CRAZY.
PLEASE IGNORE ME!
It just occurred to me that a high, closed cervix is a sign of pg. I wondered if my aF was in fact a very heavy implantation bleed. Just took 2 tests and BFP!!!!!!!!!!!! Still absorbing this. How ridiculously lucky to get pg first try. I am completely amazed. I am now sending MASSIVE trucks of blue sparkly baby dust to all of you.
Oh WOW WOW WOW tm HUUUUUGE congratulations delighted for you :)
Yay!!!!!!!! Congratulations! !!!!!! Massive amount of blue dust for you!
Thank you so much Trueblue and Beckmom. I have now done x5 tests and am believing it. My implantation bleed was so heavy I thought it was AF and figured I was going to have to try again. No wonder my opk results were all over the place!
I am so happy. All I want is for all of us on this thread to feel this way, I really do.
Omg! Congratulations tm29!!!! ♡♡♡♡
Congratulations TM!!!
Congrats, tm29!!! That's amazing! So now I want to hear more about this af/implantation. Was it lighter than usual? Was it earlier than you expected? Wow!
Wooow Tm29 HUGE CONGRATS
thats great news!!!
So we can use opks as pregnancy test
Great i will save my last 2 opks for testing then 😍
My opk show another line on fertile window only , or the days near
But the rest days shows stark white.
Thank you SO much to all of you for the congratulations. I am ridiculously happy! So nice to read your kind words.
Sageviolet - the implantation bleed was absolutely as heavy as AF. It was bright red to begin with - and then I'm not sure how it changed because I used tampax. But it was heavy enough to require tampax. It's possible I was pg with multiples and I lost one. It's possible that I'm pg with twins and therefore it was an extra heavy bleed. Who knows?! Anyway, I am evidence of the fact that you can get a BFN on CD12, then get what appears to be AF and still be pregnant. Ridiculous. I've been going crazy getting all these weird opk results! Thank goodness yogiandboo mentioned cp or I'd have been exhausting poor DH all weekend!
Congratulations tm :)
OMG! I'm so happy for you tm29
I am currently on CD 12. There is a good chance I may O CD 15-17 similar to the past three cycles 16, 15, 17 if I remember right. I'm really not feeling very 'into' it all at the moment. We have discovered dh's BP is high. He shouldn't take the Viagra with high BP. He is trying to lose weight now which is great. Due to him trying to lose weight, he won't drink the Pomegranate juice and because of the high BP, I am not keen on giving him the Prelox tablets. Goodness only knows if we will actually get an attempt in this month :(
I have been crap with my diet and almost forgot to start having my af-O supps :(
Good luck Boysway!!! Everything crossed for you hon x
I hope this is your month boysway and you catch your little boy.
Thank you ladies. I sure hope so. Not feeling terribly positive though. I know there is still time yet though. I haven't even O'ed yet.
Good luck Boysway, I would be frustrated with swaying if I was you too! I'm wishing you all the luck!
Good luck everyone! Hopefully I'll be in the 2ww soon:)
I ventured over to TTC Girl forum and was so astonished! They have nearly triple the amount of responses in their current results data!
Yes, there is many more pink swayers on this site for sure!
Ladies , I want your experience here !
